Audio-Visual Materials

The library makes every effort to acquire closed captioned materials where available.

Library Website

We are working hard to make our website fully accessible. Please direct any comments about the accessibility of our website to Regina Seguin, librarian.

Library E-Resources

Valencia libraries either subscribe to or purchase access to electronic resources, including online databases, electronic journals and e-books for curriculum support. These electronic resources are housed on the web sites of third-party vendors.

Although the library does not have direct control over changes in accessibility of these web sites, criteria for the selection of e-resources, as stated in the Valencia College Library Collection Development Procedure, include "Accessibility of electronic resources to students with disabilities according to the Section 508 standards of the US Rehabilitation Act."
